Located in Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion neighborhood, The Discovery Center is a facility for Audubon's research and science-based conservation projects and educational programs throughout the metropolitan area. The center engages residents and communities by offering the resources and tools necessary to analyze, preserve and restore our natural environment. Our education programs challenge both young people and adults through hands-on exploration of the natural world in their own backyards and neighborhoods.
